    Advocacy

    We educate our community on current policies that impact our food system, why local procurement matters, how much food is thrown out, what hunger looks like today, and how to improve things.

Educate to expand access

 

Our food system was designed to prioritize convenience and profit over providing quality, healthy food for everyone in a sustainable way.


Eat Greater Des Moines is working toward a food system that meets immediate needs and builds a healthier community for our future.
